Abstract

Neurologic complications are important source of morbi-mortality, in liver transplantation. They result from previous factors, alterations during the surgical procedure, effects from immunosuppressor drugs, coagulopathy and infections. We analyzed, retrospectively, the chronology, causes, and frequencies of neurologic alterations in thirty adult patients submitted to liver transplantation, and our results differ slightly from those registered in other series.
